Proceeding contribution from Brooks Newmark (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 13 November 2007. It occurred during Queen's speech debate on Health and Education Debate on the Address.


Health and Education

The hon. Gentleman makes an excellent point about NEETs. Is he aware that the Government have spent a cumulative total of £1.6 billion on education maintenance allowance, but that the number of 16 to 18-year-olds not in education, training or employment has actually risen by more than 30 per cent. between 1997 and 2005? Does he really think that that is money well spent?
